Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

ES HTML Parser

ES HTML Parser is a HTML parser that generates an abstract syntax tree similar to the ESTree specification.

This project began as a fork of hyntax and is developed to follow ESTree-like ast specification.

See online demo.

Table of Contents

Install

npm install es-html-parser

Usage

import { parse } from "es-html-parser";

const input = `
<html>
  <body>
    <button type="button"> press here </button>
  </body>
</html>
`;

const { ast, tokens } = parse(input);

API Reference

Functions

parse

parse(html: string, options?: Options): ParseResult;

Arguments

  • html: HTML string to parse.
  • options (optional)
    • tokenAdapter: The adapter option for changing tokens information.
    • rawContentTags (string[]) : Specifies tag names whose child contents should be treated as raw text, meaning the parser will not interpret characters like < and > as HTML syntax inside these tags.

Returns

  • ParseResult: Result of parsing

Types

ParseResult

interface ParseResult {
  ast: DocumentNode;
  tokens: AnyToken[];
}
  • ast: The root node of the ast.
  • tokens: An array of resulting tokens.

AST Format

Common

BaseNode

Every AST node and token implements the BaseNode interface.

interface BaseNode {
  type: string;
  loc: SourceLocation;
  range: [number, number];
}

The type field is representing the AST type. Its value is one of the NodeTypes or TokenTypes. The loc and range fields represent the source location of the node.

SourceLocation

interface SourceLocation {
  start: Position;
  end: Position;
}

The start field represents the start location of the node.

The end field represents the end location of the node.

Position

interface Position {
  line: number; // >= 1
  column: number; // >= 0
}

The line field is a number representing the line number where the node positioned. (1-based index).

The column field is a number representing the offset in the line. (0-based index).

Token

All tokens implement the Token interface.

interface Token<T extends TokenTypes> extends BaseNode {
  type: T;
  value: string;
}
